#i understand the fight left feyre for a bit but thats why its so important that lucien was trying

[gwyns]

i will never understand how antis say lucien didn't care about feyre or what she was going through. he was literally fighting for her more than she herself was every single time she was in the spring court in the beginning of acomaf

[jackiesstudies]

why i’m ‘boycotting’ the nesta book - a thread.

disclamier for people who think i have to love their ship

i’ve met sjm 4 times, have atleast 7 special edition books and spent waaaaaay too much money on merch via etsy. so this is NOT hate, just my own reasong.however, as she begins to post more and more threads on the book she’s publishing - i can’t help but feel triggered as an actual victim and disappointed as a reader.

i know people argue that feyre’s pov is biased but EVERYONE saw the problem in nesta. not just her. that’s why it’s true that she was a ‘bitch’ or a horrible person. because she literally was. not just because feyre thought so. 

reason 1 - elain deserved a book first

jesus fucking christ. the things we could have gotten with a elain book. 

why she loves planting. 

why she listened to feyre’s instruction but didn’t help. 

how she felt being one of the most powerful fae. 

feeling her pull to lucien an going to the spring court where she could flourish as an planter. 

being best friends with azriel and learning to weild her powers. 

a love triangle with three shy people. 

elain helping people.

i feel like this book would have been more ‘powerful’ in the terms of a spin off and more than just ‘here’s two people kissing in the mountains and a traumtic backstory’. we could get so much from elain whereas nesta feels like a dead end. 

reason 2 - it’s unneeded / a money grab

this just support reason 1 but long story short - it seems as if sjm decided that she wants to randomly change nesta’s character so that she can pro-long the book series which is a HUGE sigh.

but because everyone loves cassian - she decided to go that way and drag nesta along with the ‘enemies to lovers’ thing.

and if you’ve seen her old interviews were she talks about nesta...nesta was sjm’s ‘i have someone i hate and i’m going to make them into a character’ character. she said that she loved making nesta a ‘bitch for no reason because it was like the girls she went to high school who she hated and wanted revenge on’... so its clear that she didn’t really like writing her...so why choose them two??? oh, because it’ll sell. 

reason 3 - playing the victim

this is where i’m triggered bc as an actual rape victim / someone who grew up in a bad household, it’s not okay to just sprinkle shit in for excuses. with the first round of books, these backgrounds of trauma made SENSE. however, after everything being said and done in interviews on YOUTUBE where we see sarah say ‘nesta is just a bitch because’... it’s gonna feel fake if she throws in some unneccasry trauma just to have fans pity her.  which she will. if you see the blurbs she’s posted on her ig/website - she’s gonna set it up so that nesta was raped, or beat by their father, or something that was NEVER mentioned in the books before so that everyone feels bad for her instead of just admitting she was wrong...

and that’s not okay. 

STOP SAYING LOOK PASS THE FIRST BOOK. WE DO. SHE WAS RUDE IN ALL FOUR BOOK. THATS WHY SHE WAS SENT AWAY.

WHAT STANS NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS - it doesn’t matter what she went through. 

feyre had a hard life. rhysand had a hard life.  cassian had a hard life.  azriel had a hard life.  morrigan had a hard life.  elain had a hard life.  literally every fucking sjm character had a hard life. 

THAT DOES NOT EXCUSES ANYTHING. IT ONLY EXPLAINS IT. 

so this idea that she can run away and fall in love, romanticize her mental illness and just be forgiven is silly and needs to stop. cassian’s dick is not going to apoligize for her.

reason 3 - the timeline won’t add up

again. if sjm wants to go back on everything she’s said in interviews, on her own youtube channel, written in books and all that - it’s a lazy, sloppy job but hey! i guess. however, we can’t ignore IMPORTANT notes from feyres point of view. nesta didn’t do any work. she barely wanted to do the bare minimum. so pretending that she had to do anything besides be mean to her father and not help elain and feyre. 

sis is the oldest and literally whined when feyre tried to get elain new boots. and ofc you can argue that elain didn’t help out much HOWEVER she did plant things, she wasn’t unneccsarily rude, she did what feyre told her to. did she step up to the challenge - no. but she tried without complaining. 

nesta literally decided to keep her nails clean instead of chopping wood....are you seeing where i’m going???

i would love to see how sjm is going to sprinkle in bits that feyre recalled but change them as if feyre left out details...because then she would be setting up feyre as a liar and ruining her arc for the new girl on the spotlight.

anyways...i could go on and on about it - but i won’t. you’re allowed to have your opnion and i’m allowed to have mine. however i posted this because a nesta fan asked me and we had a DICUSSION w/o fighting over it. so here it is.
